Find the coordinates of the points of intersection of x^2 + y^2 = 4 and x = 2.

Solution

Let's solve the problem step by step.

Problem a:

We need to find the coordinates of the points of intersection for the following equations: x2+y2=4x^2 + y^2 = 4 x=2x = 2

Step 1: Substitute x=2x = 2 into the equation x2+y2=4x^2 + y^2 = 4.

22+y2=42^2 + y^2 = 4 4+y2=44 + y^2 = 4 y2=0y^2 = 0 y=0y = 0

Step 2: Write down the coordinates.

The only point of intersection is when x=2x = 2 and y=0y = 0, so the coordinates are (2,0)(2, 0).
